SWEDEN'S RECOVERY IS A PERMANENT TAX CUT -- Just a Minute Audio and Text for Tuesday 120417

Hard as I try I still often make the same mistakes. It’s a good thing the blameless Gremlins are still hanging around to hang it on. (J)

 

Some days I can’t believe it myself.  The times I go in the kitchen, get there scratch my head and say: to myself – “Now I wonder what I came in here for.” 

 

Some say it’s the early bloomin’ Alzheimer’s. I don’t think so…  It’s the Spring crop of pollen that attaches itself to your car windshield and all – or makes you sneeze…. {neeceein they sometimes call it} in any case it’s bothersome, especially when you show up and can’t remember the name of a good friend you went to school with 25 or 55 years ago. The word for the condition is “AGGRAVATION!!!” which must be shouted out as loud as you can while watching a film or in some other solemn and stately process. Anything that makes you embarrassed enough to turn pink from collar up to ear tips.

 

Ah yes it’s Spring and time for gardening and birding and grass cutting (more pollen or something sneezy) – and the thought of Spring finally getting here – all the time while feeling sympathetic for the folks in the mid-continent area were the weather has been particularly mean and violent.

 

I am thankful we didn’t have snow and ice on top of all that – although I know in some areas of the country even that is not a boon but a bane.

 

Well… since there’s precious little we can DO about the weather,except to pray and thank the Lord for sparing us another tragedy and praying for those who *have* experienced loss. I know there’s little we can do other than help one another and I think seriously about those who have suffered loss especially (Think RED CROSS, Good Will, Salvation Army and other ministries in which people put themselves out *willingly* to help others and the less fortunate.) It may be coupled together with physical infirmities or losses in the family – even sickness and so forth. The thing to remember above all is the Lord’s love for us – I know that strikes some people as unthinking or blind faith – but it’s not and the only way to combat the desperate feelings that result is to commit it to the Lord – knowing and believing HE will make it right.

 

That’s all I can convincingly say – but I DO say it, and I DO believe it with all my heart because the evidence is there if you will but trust HIM. HE will make it right if you will make it right. And If you care to write, I’ll do the best I can to explain the truth that I’ve experienced – and others with me have also.  Don’t grumble or whatever in your rebellion. HE WILL make it right if you trust HIM!  I know so.

 

God bless you and keep you in the hollow of HIS hand!  Amen!

 

Love you… see you tomorrow!

 

Cordially, IN HIM

“JUST A MINUTE”

SWEDEN’S RECOVERY IS A PERMANENT TAX CUT

 

          Just a Minute: Sweden’s discovered an economic “gold mine” – or more correctly Sweden’s Finance Minister Anders Borg has. Minister Borg (b-yorge) aiming to permanently pare down their ‘Socialistic’ government has apparently stumbled upon that which other governments – including our own – have simply stumbled over.

          Three years ago Minister Borg insisted on a permanent tax cut and in generally socialistic Sweden he was labeled an economic ‘lunatic.’ Borg, stuck with his paring knife – while Spain, Portugal, and earlier the USA, were all arguing for large temporary stimuli.

          We now observe which economic policy was correct.

          Very little of the stimulus went to reducing the debt. Where have we heard that song before?

          Monday’s Wall St. Journal reports: (quote) “Tax cutting Sweden, by contrast, had the fastest growth in Europe last year [while celebrating] the abolition of its deficit. … Just in time for the 2010 election in which the Conservatives were re- elected for the first time in history…”

          Journalist Fraser Nelson writing in the Spectator April 14th expressed his surprise the Europeans had not learned their lessons from the ‘70’s and ‘80’s.
